Silk
Excellent biomaterial because of robustness, elasticity, biocompatibility
and programmable biodegradability
Electrospinning
Pros: Nanoscale fibers that mimic the extracellular environment
Cons: Inability to control shape of structure and size of pores
3D Bioprinting
Novel self-curing silk-polyol blended inks
Mechanically robust and insoluble layers for complex 3D geometries
Open problem: incorporate stem cells
